John Frida Blonde highlight activating conditioner review

I have been dying my hair blonde now for more years than I can remember. I now do very chunky highlights of blonde mixed with my real color which is dark, but primarily I'm a blonde at this point. I usually don't use any products to enhance the blonde as I feel like that's why I pay my hairdresser to get me to the right blonde. Well I recently purchase John Frieda's frizz ease serum and it was on sale buy one get one half off so I decided to also purchase his blonde highlight activating conditioner as well. On the bottle it says see difference after one use. Hmmmm......that always makes me leery like I'm sold a line of crap. Well I used this and I was pleasantly surprised, I did think it made my blondes blonder, however maybe I'm imagining things. Well when I went to work a co worker immediately said, "your hair looks good, did you just get it done?" Well I will be darned, it really works and I wasn't imagining it. Not only did it make my blondes blonder but it also conditioned really well. I'm a fan and will continue to use this product for sure. Try it out and let me know if you like it too.

Frizz Ease Serum review

So I have the type of hair that needs a smoothing product of some sort. If my hair dries naturally it has a slight curl and it looks frizzy. I also dry my hair with round brushes to get it straight. I'm not sure how Ive over looked frizz ease serum as it has been out for awhile but I think when I saw it had won an allure award I decided to give it another try. Well Im a fan. You do not need much, a little goes a long way. As with most smoothing products you apply to damp hair and comb through, the rest is history. I really liked it and my hair is smooth and has a killer shine. Im going to keep using this for sure.

Burts Bees tinted lip balm petunia review

I am a self proclaimed lip balm addict and you will notice I have reviewed other lip balms as well. For some reason Burts Bees tinted lip balm has snuck under my radar, until today. What an amazing product! So here is the thing, generally if you are a lip balm person you don't use lip stick. As a matter of fact I hate everything about lip stick, it leaves a funny taste, it gets on your teeth, you might get it on your clothes.....yuck! However I would like to have a little color on my lips. Burts Bees goes on like a nice smooth lip balm and has a very subtle amount of color that is absolutely perfect. The petunia shade is a very light natural pink that I just love. I'm a huge fan of this and I look forward to testing out some other shades. Let me know what you think of Burts Bees.

Loreal youth code dark spot correcting serum

So I received a free sample of Loreal youth code dark spot correcting serum when I purchases their BB cream. My skin tends to hyperpigment and be susceptible to dark spots so I am always looking for the miracle serum. I have used prescription strength hydroquinone in the past and have never seen great results. I did not have much faith that this product would be any different but I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It is very light and silky with a great scent so I liked that much better than the thick hydroquinone I had been using. But really it is all about the results and I have to say that since I started using this product I have noticed some dark spots lightening. I'm quite happy with the product and will definitely continue to use it on a regular basis. Post a comment if you have tried this and click the link if you would like to purchase it from amazon.

Neutrogena clear pore cleanser/ mask review

Love, love, love this product. Neutrogena is quickly becoming one of my favorites in skin care. This product is a must have for everyone. So this is a dual functioning product which I think is very cool. You can use it as a cleanser or a mask. I personally like a mask and the reason is because when you put this on your skin it is like a blast of cool menthol like sensation and it feels awesome. I just felt like I wanted to keep it on. It dries very quickly to create a mask. I cannot tell you how refreshing this feels on your skin and how clean your skin feels when you take it off. I loved this and will continue to use regularly. CVS always has Neutrogena for buy one get one half off, but if you prefer convenience I have a link to amazon for this product and you can have it delivered right to your front door.

Loreal Revitalift clinical laser repair

I started using Loreal Revitalift day cream and night cream at the same time and when I first started using these products I was not sold. As with the night cream I also found the day cream quite heavy and thick when I first started using it. However as I kept using them I realized I actually really liked this line Revitalift and I'm glad I kept using them. I put this day cream on before my make up and although it goes on thick in under a minute it has absorbed into my skin. I also like that it has an spf of 20, as I think all day creams need to have an SPF. I really see an improvement in my skin since I have started with this product and I would definitely recommend this product. For a less expensive anti aging cream I think its really good. Check it out.

Loreal revitalift night cream review

I bought this product when I ran out of my current night cream, although I really liked what I was using I like to switch to try different products. The first thing I noticed about this product is it is very thick, much thicker than what I had been using. It also has a stronger scent than what I had been using which I wasn't crazy about. Well if I'm being honest I really didn't love this product off the bat and I was actually going to return it, however I hung in there and gave it a shot and after about a week of using this I'm glad I stuck with it. I now really like the heavy thick texture and the scent grew on me as well, but aside from that when I wake up my skin looks refreshed and I'm liking that the most. If you don't like heavy night creams you probably wont like this however I would say give it a try, I didn't think I liked heavy either until I gave it a chance. I'm sold!
